Oscar Peterson Trio • Live at the Blue Note

Review by Scott Yanow

Pianist Oscar Peterson had a reunion with guitarist Herb Ellis and bassist Ray Brown at a well-publicized get-together at New York's Blue Note in March 1990. The trio (his regular group of the late '50s) was augmented by Peterson's late-'60s drummer Bobby Durham for spirited performances. Rather than using their complex arrangements of the past, the pianist and his alumni simply jammed through the performances and the results are quite rewarding. On the first of four CDs released by Telarc, the quartet performs "Honeysuckle Rose," a ballad medley, three of the pianist's originals and "Sweet Georgia Brown." As this and the other CDs in the series show, the magic was still there.

Reseña de Scott Yanow

El pianista Oscar Peterson se reunió con el guitarrista Herb Ellis y el bajista Ray Brown en una reunión muy publicitada en el Blue Note de Nueva York en marzo de 1990. El trío (su grupo habitual de finales de los años 50) se complementó con el baterista de Peterson de finales de los años 60, Bobby Durham, para actuaciones enérgicas. En lugar de usar sus complejos arreglos del pasado, el pianista y sus ex-alumnos simplemente improvisaron las actuaciones y los resultados son bastante gratificantes. En el primero de los cuatro CDs publicados por Telarc, el cuarteto interpreta "Honeysuckle Rose", una mezcla de baladas, tres de los originales del pianista y "Sweet Georgia Brown". Como muestran este y los otros CDs de la serie, la magia seguía ahí.
